george bush scarcely had the best domestic legislative accomplishment that could rival lyndon johnson or to be fair richard nixon. perhaps the 2012 elections will generate a unified government that will pass its preferred programs but it would be foolhardy, most observers at this time is the more or less maintenance of the status quo in which barack obama will continue to occupy the oval office as the republicans continue to patrol by reversed number of the house of representatives with the senate at this time being up for grabs. so we should be open for the possibility that the current election will fit the shakespearean description of sound and fury signifying nothing or very little with regard to domestic policy and that is what i am focusing on. perhaps not nothing. considered the conclusion of tom friedman's column on april 22nd of this past year in which he expressed great concern that i certainly share about the health of our political system. he began by asking what some leaders found no doubt inflammatory, quote, does america need and arabs spring. his answer is basically yes

and in this case, again, someone we didn't know, the president of our country, lyndon johnson's courage to sign and authorize the civil rights act of 1964 easing the color line in hiring, permitted me to be brave enough to go out and to apply for a job doing work i'd seen no one else do. no matter how often i recited my mann take -- my mantra, to not be afraid of the space between my dreams and reality, promising myself that if i dreamed it, i could make it happen. i could make it come true. but without the courage of those who had marched defiantly, rode buses, sat in at lunch counters and took the beatings and cruelty that went with seeking justice in those times, my dreams would not have been possible. it is a promise of america that keeps me and millions around the world dreaming, hoping, working, and pledging to not be afraid of the unknown. that space between our dreams and our reality. because we're counting on those of you stellar scholars, powerful leaders, to continue to love liberty and the promise of america and fight for justice to help us realize our dreams. i'm so honored

no democrat since lyndon johnson has won the white vote, which means jimmy carter once, bill clinton twice, barack obama once have all won the presidency on the minority vote. it is doable. this may be the last election if romney wins, one solely on the white vote. >> you had a lot of people saying you are trying to divide america come split us up, and we are trying to bring it together, and a lot of people holding up signs like women. >> one video going viral across the country is what happened to that cnn camerawoman. peanuts were thrown at her by two people who participated in the republican convention saying, "this is how we feed animals. they were thrown out of the convention, but that story has gone around the country, and it says something about the people on the floor. that would never happen at a democratic convention, not because democrats are better but because they just would not do that kind of thing. it happens that republicans. and it is clear there are people in the republican party who are worried about this. another issue democrats talk about is this photograph iden
